What is the meaning of a time era?

Question

For example, the 20's through 30's is a time era.

Answer 1

It defines not only a calendar time, but an emotional time.

The Roaring 20s are about 1921 to 1929
The Great Depression is 1929 to 1941

Answer 2

The term "Time Era" is a bit of a misnomer as the word "Era" can stand alone when referencing a period of time. The Merriam Webster Online Dictionary defines era, in the sense you mention, as:

...a period identified by some prominent figure or characteristic feature

What this amounts to, is a period of time when specific events were occurring among a group, state, nation, or even the entire world.

In this case, the the historical era you refer to occurred in the US from 1920 to 1933 and was called Prohibition. Prohibition itself led to certain styles, behaviors and actions of the people involved that carried up to the end of the 1930s.

Prohibition can be called an era of time, a time era, or simply, an era.

Answer 3

the 20s to 30s is a decade...an era is an indeterminite period of time where something significant happened...ex:

The Civil War Era 1861-1865

The Prohibition Era

The Jazz Age

The Gay 90s (1890s)

The Era of Exploration 1500s to 1700s
